I have herpes for years and I have let it ruin my social life. I feel like a monster, like I have aids or something. I am older and in my days this WAS like having AIDS is now. I get outbreaks constantly, it is unusual when I dont have one. I have been sick with the flu the last few days and I now have FIVE, yes five on my body. I get them everywhere. They started on my thigh and moved to my butt cheeks, vaginal area EVERYWHERE..I never know where the next one will pop up and I hate myself for it. I feel gross, dirty, contagious. Does anyone else get them on their legs or butt area? I have four on my butt and trust me it looks disgusting and of course it hurts, burns, itches. I put band aids on them so nothing will touch them. UGH...I am glad to hear I am not the only one that gets depressed but I get really depressed. I dont date cause I dont want to have to tell anyone I have this disgusting disease and have them say see ya..I was dating a guy and he told me he met a girl with herpes and was ready to have sex with her but she said she had herpes so he got up and left. He did not know at that time I had herpes...

      Have you tried L-lysine? Take 2 grams per day and see if it works by at least bringing down the severity and frequency of attacks. It seems to be working on me. Also to make it more effective you may wish to add suppression therapy which is 1000 gram of dialy Valtrex on the top of L-lysine. Try it and see what happens.

    It's hard for a dude to say it's going to be okay. That description is pretty raw and women have much more problems with this infernal virus than men do. For me. It is simply pain and it is more of an irritation now than anything. But it's not the end of the world by any means. I can easily think of actually serious pain. 

    .

    The single thing I could say is buck up and stay healthy. Good in, good out. It really matters what you put in your body. 

    The ashamed part is another story. I haven't solved that yet myself. It's not on my mind in general but it is a mind splinter of absurdity since I love my wife and don't want to give it to her so I get you there. 

    Cheers and best of luck. The people here are here to answer your questions.

    Don't worry dear that guy don't even deserve you and also you will get a guy who will love you for who you are one day,having herpes is not so bad too comparing to many other diseases cause it's not harmful,it's just that it exists in our body and when we have a breakout we can just go get a medicine from the medical store which is almost like having pimples it comes n goes all the time,don't let herpes ruin your precious life and you don't have to be sad,discussed or depressed about it cause the more you stress/depress the more frequent you'll have breakout,i don't know about others but as for me when i depressed this annoying breakout pops out so it's better to make yourself/ourself happy rather than being heart broken or anything which will make you sad.So sorry for the bad English though 😆and also when i feel that I'm going to have a break out i immediately go to the medical store and get herpex tablet and have it after dinner and makes my breakout go away in one or two days.
